Schiano''s writing, is brilliant, giving credit to her Muse (Amy Tan), was a personal touch that helped the story flow, you feel her cheering Anna (Schiano) on and cheer along with her... you want Anna to get it, "Write for you..."

"Painting the Invisible Man" is a story that touched my heart and soul. This story was the opening and closing of a chapter in Anna's life that was told through memory and research. Each character unfolded throughout the story in a way that any person can relate to, and through the familiar each character entered my heart and I felt touched and was granted an invitation to better understanding of what they went through during the difficult times.

"Painting the Invisible Man" is a fascinating story of a world mostly know to people only through what we read about or see on T. V It actually brought the "Mafia" world to light in a surprising way. Through the eyes of a young girl who grows into a woman, wondering throughout her life the true story of her father. Coping with the fact that her favorite cousin could actually marry the man who allowed her father's killer to walk free. Coming to terms with the man him self is an enormous triumph that the reader hopes comes to light for Anna.

This story was indeed written for many, understood by few as a personal move forward, and should be enjoyed by all.
